Winters Rising at Lexcon (sweet & CLEAN edition) Shannyn Leah
Brea was born a Second, a lowly class of people in the Lexcon society. But she also bore the birthmark that destined her to marry a Gatekeeper, the “superheroes” of their world. Some called her destiny a great privilege. She called it doomed to a cage with no key.
Gatekeepers were born and raised to ensure time remained untainted and unchanged, but Brea saw them as overlords who looked down on her kind… on Seconds.
Forced to marry Gatekeeper Jax Winters, Brea vows not to complete the ritual bonding with him until she can talk with council about how Seconds are treated. She plans to use her newfound status to help the plight of those born like her.
But she never dreams of the twist her life will take, moving her into a higher position than she’d ever dreamed. Will she and Jax always be a

Psychedelic science fiction! Galaxy sized weirdos! Cosmic hi-jinx and galactic gaffs! Galaxafreaks will eat your brains!
I have to admit that I'm a little biased when it comes to Andrew's work (I'm honoured to call him a friend). However, when I say that his stuff is some of the freakiest, weirdest and most far-out comics around I mean that from the heart.
If you like space creatures, bright colours and cool story lines then Andrew is your man and the GalaXafreaks are your comic.

I'm honored to be able to include Nebula Finalist Stephen Goldin's Scavenger Hunt in my "select few" Group Giveaway. This vintage classic channels Barbarella while dishing out such delightfully diva-esque dialogue as "I'd turn positively green with envy, except then I'd clash with my own gown, so of course I won't" and "I've had three husbands since then... No, don't ask me what their names were, darling, I'm not an almanac..."

The Least of Elves Robin Glassey
Toran looked upon the other Elves in Xanti with wonder. They all had at least one Gift, they all had a trade, and they all knew their path in life. Why did he have to be so different? Now that he was entrusted with a delivery to the Human village of Kipra, he hoped great things finally lay in store — yet he feared his history of mistakes might spell disaster.
Sosha lived each day with the threat of Mortan’s creatures finding her again. The scars on her face and her blindness reminded her she would never be safe from the Elf. And although Kipra Village had kept her temporarily concealed, there was one thing she had not planned on . . . Death. For neither faeries, nor her Elemental powers could stop Death’s hand from taking her father. Who would protect her now?

Code of Rainbow: Soaring Flame and the Dragon-transcending Magimal Weiqi Wang
This is the first book of a teen fantasy book series that nurtures the bloom of MAGIC in the soil of SCIENCE - something rarely attempted. The transition from magic to science will be bit by bit, so the early books do read like a "mainstream" magic fantasy.
Soarame has a pair of special eyes. He can see magic elements in this world, which are supposed to be invisible. This enviable gift of his could reveal the truth of the world, but it also puts him in danger.
Many animals in this world possess magic power, so they are called “magimals” - dragons as examples. Soarame fortunately got a baby magimal as his best friend, but they got into troubles together - troubles that were a lot bigger than dragons.
Could they survive?

Discern, Mosaic Chronicles Book One Andrea Pearson
He's dark and powerful—a magical anomaly. She's untrained and inexperienced. Can they set aside their differences in time to save themselves?
Mysterious disappearances at a popular national park force authorities to organize a university-led expedition, and they've invited undergrads to compete to be included. As a talented Arete, Austin is a natural shoo-in. And he's not the only experienced student competing. Nicole struggles a great deal with her powers, but she knows she has what it takes, and she's determined to prove that she can produce Wind magic.
With the help of her friends and advice from professors, Nicole pushes the limits of her magical abilities. As the competition heats up, however, she finds out that the trip she’s fighting for may be a one-way ticket...

Wow! Really intriguing!
Discern grabbed my attention for the very first page. Fun, realistic, and exciting characters drives the action in this book of magic, friendship, and adventure. Nicole's struggles with finding and using her magic can relate to all of us as we struggle to be who we want to be. A fun first book in what I expect is a great full series!
This one is next on my to-read pile! Sounds like everything I love bundled up together
Triumviratus - Chosen
Triumviratus - Chosen Shane W Smith
Three times he will prove his love for her. The third time will kill him.
In a world where violent magic is punished by the gods, mages have learned to use their powers for deception and manipulation. Rynold has learned this lesson better than most.
Instead of openly competing for the heart of Princess Mirelda, he misuses an ancient artefact to engineer a scheme that sends her lover, Damian, on a fraudulent pilgrimage to a faraway land.
His plan backfires when the artefact flares into life after centuries of dormancy, and demands that Mirelda herself go after Damian and “bring him back.”
Triumviratus is a book about jealousy, self-esteem, and three desperate people whose misadventures in love bring the world to its knees.

Azrael's a wingless angel, and if that wasn't bad enough, she's the only one with a functioning conscience. Her bi-color eyes mark her as a moral hybrid, and when she breaks her enslavement to Manor Saffron by making a deal with a demon, she doesn't expect to become Queen. She’ll have to survive her new royal magic, convince a legion of angels she’s worth fighting for, and find the breach in her Faustian deal, or risk a new master with horns.

Dasha is a gift from the gods. Only she’s not very gifted. Or at least so it seems to her.
Eighteen years ago, Dasha’s mother made a bargain with the gods. She would bear a gods-touched child, one who would stand on the threshold between the worlds, human and divine. Dasha is that child, now almost ready to become a woman, and one day take her mother’s place as Empress of all of Zem’. Except that Dasha is shy, lonely, and one of the least magically inclined girls in the Known World. Instead she has fits and uncontrollable visions. When she sets off with her father on her first journey away from her home kremlin, she hopes she will finally find someone who can help her come into her powers. But those whom she finds only want to use her instead.

Jakob has shown all the signs, but he can’t believe it’s really happening. Could he be a vessel? How is it that his remote water village far south of Tiebern would need such intervention? Only sin draws the gods’ attention. When evil coalesces, they send a vessel to drain the weighty muck of it from lost souls, hoping to save their creations from generations of doomed torment.
He’s supposed to die. He’s to be the sacrifice to save his people from damnation.
Instead… his people do not deserve to be saved. When a vessel finds a use for sin… he’ll find the strength to Awaken.

Arcanum is historical fiction with a fantasy twist at its best! I love how Naomi gave us a sneak peek of Agnethe's life before she had Ingrid (her main character from her also astounding Ingrid the Viking Maiden series.) I truly loved this novella and can't wait for the next book/novella Naomi puts out!
I absolutely adore this cover and the premise! Can't wait to read!
Whispering Willows
Whispering Willows Patty Jansen
Friends and family on the farm know that Loesie makes up most of the things she says about magic. So the one time she tells the truth, they don't believe her.
Great cover and an intriguing premise.
I'm delighted to include Patty Jansen's Ambassador 1: Seeing Red among my "select few." Deftly and swiftly, her beginning shifts into high, machine-gunning intriquing clues vis a vis later reveals. One knows just enough about what's going on to continue reading without scratching one's head, but not enough to make the whole book a fait accompli. Quick immersion in tight, realistic action promises a great read.
No matter what Patty Jansen writes, there is always that underlying personality that makes her books interesting AND there are her sometimes wildly imaginative worlds that forgo the bounds of what we all know and expect. They give us something entertaining and surprising. And she is Australian. If that comment doesn't make sense then you will have to just read her stories to see what I mean. It is meant in a good way.
Incredible work by an author I truly admire!
Very intriguing! This is promising to be very interesting series... Keep it coming, Patty!
